Somebody's Favorite Mistake Gets Almost Half a Million Chop

Now listed at $2,599,900, this five-bedroom, eight-bath foreclosed Brandywine property is still lingering on the market, at a fraction of what it took to construct the thing. Per the listing, over $7,000,000 was put into the property and construction. The "entertainer's dream" stumbles over itself across the Pennsylvania countryside in a bizarre conflation of glass, metal, and concrete. There are his-and hers wings, a garage designed with a "car aficionado in mind," a four-story elevator, and the initial plumbing and electric network to support a full bar flanked by a gym, full bath and the start of a sauna. Per the listing, it is being sold "as is."
